Dear John

"Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much."

That quote by American author and activist Helen Keller is a timeless and vital
message to anyone who wants to make change happen. None of us can achieve much
by acting alone. But when we unite, the opportunities are huge.

As Church Action on Poverty this week turns 40, we look ahead with optimism. Not
because of what we do ourselves, as one charity, but because of the larger,
inspiring, tenacious and thriving movement that we are one part of, and the
partnerships we cherish.

This week, we are particularly delighted to announce that we have signed a new
national partnership agreement with Co-op, to help strengthen the voice and
power of people in poverty.

The Co-op will support a new Speaking Truth To Power programme and the growth
and development of the Your Local Pantry network, enabling people on low incomes
to start redressing Britain’s power imbalance and to have a greater impact over
the decisions and systems that affect their lives.

On our blog you can read more about the partnership, the impact this work will
have – and how churches can play a key role in the movement to end UK poverty.
Please follow the link to find out more, and think about how your church could
be part of it!
